i love that thing that mastodon has where i don't see the hot take a bunch of people i follow are mad at, because there isn't anything artificially drawing attention to rage bait to get us to look at ads or inflate stock prices or astroturf political campaigns or growth hacking or whatever other reasons for corporate engagement farming
@aeva I coudn't care less about the rage bait but sometimes I would appreciate more context about the subtoots
@oblomov someone i don't know posted something that ticked off a bunch of people, and there's been an occasional trickle of posts and boosts about it with varying degrees of nuance. other breaking news: the pope is still catholic, and bears still shit in the woods.
